Anne Malherbe Gosselin (born Anne Malherbe on December 16, 1968) is the wife of President Rafael Correa, President of Ecuador since January 2007. She was born in Namur, Belgium, as the daughter of Paul Malherbe and Chantal Gosselin. She met Rafael while both were attending courses in the Catholic University of Louvain, in Belgium. Some time later they got married and set up residency in Ecuador. == Public statements == Since President Correa's inauguration she opted to keep a low public profile and to be completely focused on her duties as a mother and wife. The only public statement of a political nature was during the first weeks of President Correa's term in office, made concerning the perceived duties of the First Lady; she alleged that "we, women are all equal" giving reassurances to all people that hold the belief of a self intrinsic value as individuals and not for their spouse's position. It is important to highlight that she received a total unyielding support from her husband in this decision. Anne Malherbe won sympathy from the Ecuadorian people (who until then knew very little of her) by a public statement on 31 July 2007 when during a telephone interview with EFE she referred to the case of an Ecuadorian child, Angélica Loja Cajamarca, who together with her mother had been detained in Belgium for not carrying a photo ID and were held at a center for undocumented migrants. The First lady said she was ashamed of what her country did to a child who was only eleven years old. After this interview she returned to her daily routine away from the public eye. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anne Malherbe Gosselin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
